VStudio2015 works for me; pulling into later versions of VStudio
should work w/o problems, as far as my experience goes.

There's a custom build step to generate icons.h and icons.cpp via
reswrap.  Dependencies are set to ensure reswrap is compiled first
thing, but you might want to make sure that this actually happens.

I have noticed on occasion that custom build step fails; it seems
to be that you have an icons.h or icons.cpp from a previous build;
so clean the project first, and make sure the old icons.h/icons.cpp
are gone.
